should designers learn to code?

Allovus designer/prototyper Jordan Dobson is holding a great talk tomorrow on using code as a design tool. As a designer, it helps to understand the language and constraints the developers have when they’re building a product.

When:Wednesday, October 28, 2015, 6:30 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.

Where: Code Fellows, 511 Boren Ave. N. Seattle, WA

Cost: Free

In Jordan’s words, “The design landscape has become so dependent on motion, data, user input and context that the role of a designer has changed. It’s no longer about how a design looks but how it feels and reacts to input. Validation of interaction designs and concepts often need to be realized, tested and documented before visual design is finalized and development begins. Code as a design tool can give you the super power to do these things.”

Attend the event to learn:

Design problems that can only be solved via code

How to save yourself effort. Learn shortcuts to take when dealing with developers
